Who is Travis Head? Know About His Wife, Family, Career, Stats and More

The game of cricket has seen many great left-handed batters who have dominated the game for a long time. Players like Brian Lara, Matthew Hayden, Gream Smith, Kumar Sangakkara, Sourav Ganguly, and others are some of the prime examples of left-handed batters who undoubtedly come in the list of all-time great players. And when we talk about one of the most successful teams in the history of Cricket, which is Australia, they have also seen some great left-handers like Allan Border, Adam Gilchrist, Hayden, and others.

However, after Gilchrist and Hayden, the Australian team didn’t get any quality left-hander who was able to make his name into the legendary list. But, ever since Travis Head announced his arrival in international cricket, he has strongly put himself as a contender of becoming one of Australia’s great left-handed batters.

Head made his first international appearance against India in January 2016, and his last appearance was also against India. Head has been a nightmare for the Indian team, especially in the ICC events. He played match-winning knocks for Australia during the WTC 2023 finals and the 2023 ODI World Cup final against India.
